Ordering sinks at Granite Division also gives us quality control over the entire process and takes the hassle off of you! This article is a guide to equip you to make the best decision when it comes to sink selection for a bathroom. It covers considerations about the sink function, size, style and material options, and a starting point for further research in faucet selection. If you would like to order a sink from elsewhere this will also serve as a guide for considerations.
There are many types of bathroom sinks, and here are a few that work with a natural stone vanity countertop: Undermount, Drop-In, and Vessel.
Undermount
Drop-In
Vessel
Undermount sinks are installed underneath the countertop. This means that cleanup is easier, and that you do not see the edges of the sink.
Drop-In sinks are installed by being “dropped in” to a hole in the countertop. This is the most inexpensive way to install a sink. A Drop-In sink’s edges will be over the countertop.
Vessel sinks actually sit on top of the vanity countertop, and are available in many shapes and colors.
The next consideration in selecting a sink is its material. There are many to choose from, and this article goes over a few options in bathroom sink material, including porcelain, stainless steel, and copper.
Porcelain
Stainless Steel
Copper
Porcelain sinks are low cost and maintenance. However, they are not durable enough for heavy use and are not good candidates for heavily trafficked areas.
Stainless steel is the most common choice for a bathroom sink, and there are many stainless-steel options. It is low cost and low maintenance, but it is not difficult to dent or scratch.
Copper sinks are available for their interesting style, and copper has bacteria-killing properties. However, these sinks are typically on the more intensive end of both cost and maintenance.
The final consideration with sinks is faucets.
There are thousands of possibilities on the market, and we encourage you to find something you like and order it. We will need your faucet at the time of installation, and our installers cut the holes for the faucet on site.
